Someone has said long back that if you want to examine the health of a society observe the status enjoyed by women of that society.
A slight detour into our history. If we believe the scholars women enjoyed an equal status during Early Vedic Period; participated in administration, chose their husband, were educated. But slowly over a period of time their status in the society deteriorated. Things started changing after independence but the story is still far from being satisfactory.
Nevertheless, there is every reason to be optimistic about the long overdue change, adding one feather in the cap after passing of Women's Reservation Bill in the Upper House of the Parliament.
Congratulations!!!
Hopefully, the Bill would get through the Lower House and half of the State Assembles too without much hitch.
ALL THE BEST!!!
